The Believers

The Believers

Believe is a unique project in which sixteen inmates fight their addiction to hard drugs. They sign an agreement stipulating they will work hard for eight months to get their drug addiction and their issues with aggression under control. During that period they are moved to the prison of ruiselede, where they enrol in a rehabilitation programme.  The aim is to push their mental and physical boundaries, amongst others by running a half marathon at the end of the project.

The fight against addiction is extremely tough. Some of the participants see it through while others fail. Far from everyone completes the programme. Because participants who break the rules are sanctioned. Several participants are excluded from the project and sent to a closed prison.
